Social Rush Provides Week Fall Social Sorority Rush was both a time of excitement and anticipation for all the women involved. The week began Sunday, with an informal tea acquainting the pro- spective pledges with each social sorority: Alpha Xi Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Mu. Monday evening followed with informal parties, where each of the three social sororities entertained the Rushees with skits and refreshments. The Parties began at six o'clock with Gamma Phi Beta, where they presented their own version of Chorus Line. At seven o'clock it was off to Fanta-Xi Island with the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta, complete with Mr. Rourke and Tattoo. Finally at eight o'clock it was back to the roaring 20's and Pinky's Place with flappers and Phi Mu. All week there was somewhere for the Rushees to go. The formal parties were held on Tuesday for Gamma Phi Beta, Wednesday for Alpha Xi Delta, and Thursday for Phi Mu. As each day passed it brought more tension and nerves for each of the three social sororities. Then finally there came Friday after- noon and relief. Gut of the 46 women who had signed up for formal rush, 26 signed preference cards and received bids. Altogether between formal and open rush, 30 new women pledged the sororities. :-VLA aw ia., I W s f sk Andra CML Rourke? Creed and Rhonda fTattooj Blair tell rushees about life on Fanta-Xi Island.

amma Sig Pledges Record-Breaking Class The women of Gamma Sigma Sigma, national service sorority, enjoyed a very successful rush in the fall semester. The informal rush party was held on Tuesday, September 15, in the Ann Waggoner lounge. Entertainment included skits written and performed by the beaus about the Gam- ma Sig circus and the king, Greg Franklin. There was also a skit performed by the actives doing a Gamma Sig version of superman, and how Gamma Sigs and Super- man saved the Wesleyan campus. Formal rush was held on Thursday, September 17, at the house of Gamma Sig vice president Lesa Goetz. After a covered-dish dinner, rushees were entertained by a slide presentation and an inspiring program from the actives. The week ended with an induc- tion ceremony in the chapel of Poly Methodist Church and dinner at Calamity's. The total number of pledges was fifteen, the largest pledge class in Gamma Sig's history on this campus. The rush served as a great beginning to a busy and fun-filled semester.
